TERMS & CONDITIONS.

What this is

High School Filmmakers (HSF) is a free community board where student filmmakers find cast, crew, festivals and resources. Anyone can browse. Posting is for high school students (and recent students) working on film projects.

The rules

Be honest about who you are and what your project is. No harassment, no hate, no adult content, no spam, no scams, no posting someone else's work as your own. Break the rules and your post comes down. Do it twice and you're done here.

Staying safe

We never ask for your email or phone number, and you should never post yours. Keep contact on Instagram until you trust someone. If you meet up about a project: tell a parent or guardian first, meet in a public place, and bring someone with you. If a post or a person feels wrong, hit the report button on the board or DM us on Instagram @highschoolfilmmakers. If you're under 18, get a parent or guardian on board before joining any production.

Your posts

Every post is reviewed by a human before it goes live. We can take down any post for any reason, especially anything unsafe. You keep ownership of everything you post, and you can ask us to remove it anytime via Instagram DM.

What we collect

As little as possible. What's on your post (title, logline, city, roles, Instagram) and your sign-ups (first name, age range, optional Instagram). No accounts, no emails, no trackers beyond basic security checks. We never sell anything about you to anyone.

The honest disclaimer

HSF connects people; we don't vet them. We can't promise a project is real or a person is who they say they are. Use your judgment, follow the safety rules, and involve an adult. The site is provided as-is, and we're not responsible for what happens between users off the site.

Changes

If these terms change, the new version goes up on this page. Keep using the site and you're agreeing to the current version.
